BROTHER ScoTT:
There is just one watchword for
this hour, WE MUST CARRY MICHIGAN.
The Constitutional amendment now
submitted to the people must not
fail. Let us drop all other engage
ments and rally to the rescue.
Let each one who can speak start
at once for the scene of action and
give our time freely in this most
sacred cause. If every speaker in
our ranks would contribute ten
days. work, letting all other en-
gagements wait, l believe that Gods

bring victory. We have heroic
men and women in Michigan-ex-
cellent organization and admirable
leadership. Let US go into this
battle shouting, "The sword of

PRIZE BANNER.

kline FR1END:-Will you please
call attention to the offer of a prize
banner to the New England state
which reports the largest per cent
of increase in membership includ-
ing regular and honorary member
ship in the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and the "Y's''
also, for the middle, southern, and
western States which make this
report, with one from the state be-
yond the Missouri River having
the largest per cent of increase in
its membership, and one to the
territory that leads in this respect
during the present year. Thus
the weakest state is placed on a
level, at the start, with the strong
est. The banners! will be present
ed at Nashville next autumn, at
the annual meeting of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
Please print this note, and plead
for more thorough canvass for
names. 1t means the spread of
the total abstinence propaganda,
and that means victory. Yours
for prohibition.

Independent View.

The legislature of Kansas having
passed a municipal suffrage bill
allowing women to vote at munich
pal elections, tae Governor Of the
state, in signing it, said that he did
SO as a "tsst of the value of woman
suffrage" If the law does not work
well, another legislature can easily
change it. We hope and believe
that there will no reason for chang
ing the law. We have never seen
any sufficient reason why the cleo
tive franchise should be exclusive
ly confined to the male sex. m 7.

Sabbath, March 9Th. at four
o'clock in the afternoon, William
b. Caswell died at his resid ence in
this city.
A brave, true, great-hearted man
passed to his reward.
The editorial 1--WE" seems so
far off and impersonal, in speaking
of the loss of so true and helpful a
friend, that I discard it.
If the help and friendship
shown had been only private and
personal in its character it would
not be fitting thus to speak.
He was the one man to whom l
could always 60 for an encouraging
word and a helping hand, both in
local and State Temperance work,
with the assurance that | should
get ready heari1g and liberal
response. If 1 was in doubt as to
method or policy, respecting the
conduct of our work, I went
straight to him and the faithful
f"White Ribbonner" whom he call
ed wife, and I called friend, and in
the council-chamber of their
pleasant home the subject was dis
|,cussed with an interest and clear
ness that left nc doubt as to future
action. If it was practical'aid of
any kind I wanted, he never sent
me away feeling was a beggar,
but so cheerful was the response
that he seemed honored by these
drafts upon hie loyalty to the cause.
So quietly, SO unostentrtiously
were all these benefactions done
that during this life felt that a
public acknowledgement of them
would have been distastefulrto him.
He dared to be true to hie.convic-
tions whether they were against
the traffic in human bodies or in
immortal soals. He was an Abok-
tiomist andsa Prohibitiossst, and
threats against person or property
had no power to stif1e these con-
victions or suppress their 'avowal.
The world knew him as an ener-
getic successful business man,
honest and straightforward in all
his dealings, abreast with the
times in public spirit, keen in his
perceptions and thoroughly balanc-
ed in Judgment.
knew him in his home, whose
beauty and comfort he delighted
to share with his friends; 4 knew
him in his quiet benesactions
which he strove to keep secret
from the world; l knew him in
his deep sympathy for the suffer
| ing and oppressed and outreaching
anxiety for the uplift of humanity !;
